Happy Sleep by Goodiebox
What is the second best happy moment after opening your Goodiebox? A good night of sleep! 🌙💤 With that being said, we’re proud to introduce: Happy Sleep by Goodiebox. Here you’ll find bedtime stories and soundscapes, designed to make you fall asleep. Are you ready for dreams sweeter than stevia? 😴
Bedtime stories
Sure, downing a couple of Margaritas before bedtime would help you fall asleep, but your partner might look at you weird.🤨 Instead we propose: Bedtime stories!📚 Your partner still thinks you’re weird, but only until you both drift into dreamland. Bedtime stories actually help you fall asleep because they distract you. By making your brain focus on an interesting plot instead of having worrying thoughts, your heart rate and blood pressure is automatically lowered and you’ll soon be ready to sleep. Now that’s a bedtime story with a happy ending!😄
The soundscapes of sleep
Noises can also help you fall asleep, but the noise has to be constant (don’t tell your neighbor). Roughly speaking our brain differs between two kinds of noise when we sleep. Threatening and non-threatening.⚠️✌️
Threatening noises are sudden, like a car honking or someone yelling, and wake you up. It goes way back to the good old stone age days, where a sudden scream at night could mean that Andrea from the cave next to you, might’ve been attacked by a wolf. Damn it… Anyway.💔 Non-threatening noises are those that are constant. They can even be loud, like waves crashing, as long as they’re constant, because it means they’re not harming you. It’s basically your brain telling you “relax, relax, relax, you won’t end up like Andrea, relax, relax, relax”. Ahh, those were the days. Makes you appreciate your partner’s snoring.😉
Tip: There’s plenty of apps out there that can measure noise levels, so you can figure out what works best for you.
A rule of thumb is to keep it under 85 decibels
Sleep – And why it’s ZzzZzzzuper important
Staying up late is funnn… Then you go to work the next day, feel like a sour gnome, your brain is hurting, and you look like Dracula. ☠️ It’s pretty obvious that sleep does wonders for you, and that the lack of it results in the opposite. Besides overall downgrading you as a human being, a lack of sleep will increase your risk of diabetes, alzheimer’s, mental health issues and disturb your ability to be creative, concentrate and memorize things. No biggie. Apparently, sleep is more important than nutrition and movement. That’s something to think about the next time you decide to watch one more episode of that Korean dating show. 💗🇰🇷
